Mansion Expansion (0)
4/02/10 •
A very quirky and, I have to say, very original game, Mansion Expansion achieves an almost impossible task: it makes real estate look fun. When I think of real estate, I think of people figuring out down payments, and leases, and mortgages, potentially second mortgages, and even foreclosures, given the recent times. Being a realtor ...

White Lines (0)
3/30/10 •
I’m going to start this review with a summary from the developer: White Lines is a beautifully simple memory game in which players must redraw sequences of lines that travel across the screen. That’s really the best way to describe this app. It’s a memory game with a twist: instead of simply tapping colors in ... Read More
fowlplay (3)
3/09/10 •
As indicated by the title’s pun, Fowlplay by Happynin Games is a game of foulplay conducted, no less, by a mischievous bird of a feather. Actually, if I wanted to nitpick, the word fowl is more typically used for chickens, or other domesticated birds kept chiefly for the purposes of their eggs or flesh, and ... Read More
Little Pim Word Bag (0)

People in this country tend to view bilingualism with an air of impressiveness, that it’s a rare skill few possess. They often reply, when asked if they speak another language, with astonishing sincerity coupled with a step back, “Oh god no, I don’t speak a word of Spanish.” There are many people who point to ...

DynaZoo (0)
3/05/10 •
DynaZoo is an interesting app. It’s supposedly for kids, but as an adult I found it pretty difficult… then again, my girlfriend does say I’m pretty childish sometimes, so take that with a grain of salt! DynaZoo, by Apps4U, is a matching game on methamphetamine and it’s unapologetic about it – their sub-title is “Animal ... Read More
Whimsy Animals (1)
3/03/10 •
Here’s a cute puzzle app for children – Whimsy Animals, by David Ross. It’s the rare household with children that doesn’t have at least one puzzle hidden somewhere, in the back of a closet, or out in the open on the bedroom floor. Puzzles are not only fun to put together, they work your child’s ... Read More
Pocket Story – The Boy Giant (3)
3/01/10 •
Starting off Kids Week we have a beautifully illustrated storybook app by the name of The Boy Giant by Wotsamaflip, an original tale written by Allan Plenderleith, who happens to be one of the UK’s top screenwriters for children. As noted from earlier reviews, I do favor the storybook app quite a bit -books are ... Read More
BloodyRush (1)
2/26/10 •
BloodyRush by People and Dream Inc. is one of those games I continue playing despite scratching my head over its appeal. It’s a fine game, with surprisingly decent graphics, and highly reactive controls, but there’s no storyline to hold my interest, which I sort of expect from a game with such a nice presentation. Normally, ... Read More
Bizarro (0)
2/26/10 •
I’ve been a fan of Bizarro, an internationally-syndicated comic by Dan Piraro, for about as long as I can remember. I used to work construction with my dad and every day at lunch we would read the paper. I’d browse the front page, local and sports sections before heading to the comics section. I actually ...

Bejeweled 2 (0)
2/26/10 •
It’s too easy to overlook all the great games in the App Store. With so many options, and so many new games released every day, it’s easy to just get caught up in what Apple recommends as the latest and greatest. I like to search deep down into the bowels of the App Store, sifting ... Read More
